About the artist

I spent my childhood wandering the wetlands in Minnesota. I was enthralled with the delicate nature of spider webs, the colors of wildflowers and the changing of the seasons. This love of nature caused me to study Biology in college. Here I found the structure in science, data and analysis. These two opposing components have fascinated me ever since.

My glass is an extension of this fascination with the dichotomy of nature and science. I attempt to draw this out using colors and textures. I love the interplay between swirls and straight lines, the way light interacts with opaque and transparent elements and how texture adds a whole new dimension to glass.

Why glass?

Glass is hard, cold, sharp and strong. She can be unforgiving and arrogant. Stubborn and cruel. It is only when we open ourselves up to possibility does the glass then bend and soften showing her true colors. She is fragile and weak. Soft and beautiful. She demands to be touched, admired, hated and loved. She is at peace with her duality. I am glass.
